No one wants to wind up stuck in a cold house in the middle of winter, which is why routine HVAC inspections and maintenance services are so important. When you do things like inspect for gas leaks and clean out your duct system, your furnace will operate much more efficiently throughout the chilly season. Rochester Heating And Cooling wants you to know more about what to expect during winter HVAC inspections and maintenance services. Here are some key points to consider.

Inspection Procedure

When you hire the experts to inspect your HVAC system for the winter, they will carefully look at its parts to make sure everything functions normally. If your furnace runs on gas, they will inspect it for leaks, which, if present, may drive up your monthly bills and pose a safety hazard. Additionally, your HVAC experts will inspect your heating elements and flue system, making sure the proper attachments are in place and that there is no evidence of corrosion. Finally, they will run your furnace to make sure there are no strange noises or unusual smells emanating from it. Of course, if your HVAC contractor observes any of the aforementioned problems, they will promptly repair them.

Maintenance Work

After your HVAC inspection, your team of technicians will clean or replace your air filters, if necessary. This is a good opportunity to have them do duct cleaning, too, since clearing out dirt and debris will only increase the efficiency of your unit. If your thermostat is difficult to read or functions improperly, your HVAC experts will replace it with a more modern, programmable model. Just remember that, for the sake of accuracy, you should have it installed away from doors and windows. Your HVAC maintenance team will also provide you with helpful heating tips for the winter, such as setting your thermostat as low as is comfortably possible to avoid overworking your furnace, adding additional insulation to your attic, and caulking any gaps in doors or windows.
